The Rape of Democracy`

The sculpture is inspired by the Statue of Liberty, which has welcomed immigrants into this country for well over a century and is regarded as a symbol of democracy. The artist’s version is showing her in the nude stripped of her dignity, her law book and her torch, which no longer enlightens the world. Principals have been distorted out of shape and forcefully re-assembled into a system, different from the original intent. The crown is indicating an imperious power of control paired with a weapon-like scepter. But above all she is conflicted with sadness and resistance.

False Idol

Bronze and Automotive PaintH=21", W=13", D=13"Edition 6 | 2016

Big money, banks and art as commodity being worshipped as the False Idols of our times. Holy and untouchable institutions that are turned into cash cows.

Human beings often create images, begin to worship them and then forget the images were initially invented by them. They are left with an abstract image that is impossible to measure up to. This is the basis of all celebrity and religious imagery. Gold is a metal that humans have decided is one of the most valuable materials in the world, but like their invented images of perfection, gold itself is a belief system – inherently no more valuable than any other metal.

Common Unity

This sculpture consists of two identical figures facing each other, symbolizing communication, exchange of knowledge, connectedness, interaction, conversation, equality etc. It is located at the Arvada Center for the Arts in Denver, CO

Perception Series

With this series of figurative-abstract sculptures I am showing that there is no fixed physical reality, nor single perception of the world. I am challenging the viewer by presenting dialogues of perception versus reality. Different perspectives or viewpoints reveal numerous ways of perceptive interpretations. There is no single truth, there is only perception. These works of art art meant to be mediators of the inexpressible truth.

Dreams Series

The 'Dreams' series is contemplating the relation ship between reality and fantasy. It is an interpretation of how we perceive the subconscious and the dream world. The sculptures are metamorphoses of materialism and spiritualism into form, they are images of thoughts, ideas, emotions and sensations.

I attempted to blend forms and emotions into each other by deformation and distortion, much like the imaginary nature of dreams. The previously idealistic female form, representing reality, then has been manipulated and distorted to reflect the dream state. The results are sculptures that are reflective of our memories and experiences. The concept of dreams is supported by the mirror polished stainless steel bases, which reflect images of the sculptures like dreams are reflecting memories of reality.

Some Assembly Required

Stainless SteelH=90", W=44", D=23"Edition of 2 plus 1 AP | 2012

"Some Assembly Required" is a metaphor for human accomplishments throughout history, the accumulation of knowledge and skills that define our culture. The figure is shown suspended in a grid of steel pipes, which reference "Plastic injection brake-out molds", toys for assembly. The figure also makes an association to Michelangelo's David as a reference to history.

Death of Venus

“Death of Venus” is inspired by the iconic painting “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli, created in 1486 during the Italian Renaissance. To me this painting is a representation of unsurpassed artistic talent, creativity and originality. In today’s contemporary art world much of those qualities are no longer as valued. The high end art has become more of a commodity and investment tool, something that people buy and hope it will be worth more in the future. In my sculpture the skull symbolizes those changes of cultural ideas and values. The shell from which she emerges is now closed, resembling a coffin. The Ferrari red auto paint is a representation of our fast living times, of glitz and glamour yet to some degree the figure itself represents the old traditions.

Paradox of Power

This sculpture is an interpretation of power and the paradox effect it has on its possessor. Mounted on a white Carrara marble or black granite base.

Adam and Eve or #0000000001 & #0000000002
